RE: [PHP-WIN] RE:escape loop on timeout

In C/C++ one can set a network timeout counter before one does a network call (at least under unix:). If there is no answer within the count down time a function assigned to the time out signal will be invoked. Maybe there are support for this in php, or if not, maybe its an idea to implement something like that?
